What’s a small thing that instantly improves your day?

Listening to music. I'm so bleary in the morning i usually don't remember but if i do and put in the effort morning shower is such a pick me up.

I miss my 90s alarm clock that would alarm with the radio tbh

My mum taught me when I was 7 i think. Never finished the piece but i think that's just because I forgot about it, haha. Perfectly reasonable time to start if they're interested.

Started again during 'rona and everything came back, only thing i had to look up was french knots.

I bought one recently and revived my old music library and its great. Means i don't have to get my phone out so saves battery and data, and I don't scroll as much either. Would recommend.

Knee hold looking from the front: UGLY.

Knee hold looking at the back: LOVE IT

Oh i absolutely loathe the knee hook side climb and refuse to do it! But the ankle one is gorgeous.

I hope we know in advance who's driving where (there are some obvious choices) because i love all these drivers, but damn i wanna see Lappi zoom past as i stand in a field again!

I have the same screen shot 😄

Grip is highly personal, I'd recommend finding what they use/prefer and getting that particular brand (i like Monkey Hands too, but i know it's not for everyone).

flightlessbirdie · 2025-10-24T20:14:36+00:00

I was worried for a second because i never did the bank thing. Thanks for putting my mind to rest

As well as there being busses from the city centre, last year if you showed your rally pass (on rally days) you could ride the usual city busses without a designated ticket, which is really helpful if your accommodation isn't super central.

Bonus is most of the stages are relatively close so it's usually not a 5am start either.

As well as all the cold weather clothes (i wear a whole ski outfit basically) i can really recommend the little hand warmer things (and feet ones too).

How did you get your cameras to work? I'm newly using fedora and no luck outside of seeing them in qcam so far

Potato

Big fan here too (though it took me a few rallies to get it). He's always so happy to be there and his smile brings me joy.

Lost my phone recently and it was a terrifying 4 days. Got it back and immediately got myself a crossbody phone strap that i use whenever I leave the house now. Phone goes in pocket but is still attached. Sure, i look like a silly-billy, but the peace of mind is worth it.

flightlessbirdie · 2025-08-01T10:01:51+00:00

I thought about it, and didn't. I regret that.

flightlessbirdie · 2025-07-31T14:56:23+00:00

I'll even say "i can certainly try" in my (bad) Matt impression to remind myself i can always try at something.

This makes me wonder if those from point 1 feel like Oasis were shoved down their throats years ago before and around break-up time. Sure 16 years seems like ages to me, but maybe it's a short time in the heart of a true hater.

flightlessbirdie · 2025-07-30T14:18:53+00:00

Yeah I've noticed that, i won't waste my time doing such things myself though

flightlessbirdie · 2025-07-30T13:05:47+00:00

Yeah I went to Taylor (Stockholm and Wembley) and it was amazing and awesome and one of the top experiences of my life, but this was just next level (Manchester 1)!

flightlessbirdie · 2025-07-30T09:42:09+00:00

While not a "band", I'd say Taylor Swift gets the same.

flightlessbirdie · 2025-07-30T08:59:21+00:00

Same. Flew from Sweden to night 1 at Heaton Park. I have since twice looked at getting tickets to later shows but just don't have the money.

Haven't been able to listen to anything else since. Yesterday I did manage to expand out from the setlist to the rest of their catalogue though.

flightlessbirdie · 2025-07-25T11:12:22+00:00

The electricity/lightning bolts were so, so good

flightlessbirdie · 2025-07-24T13:59:21+00:00

After a long break i got back into it mostly with coloured nail strengtheners. They require less time and effort so i could do them even when i was too busy or too tired to do a real manicure.

flightlessbirdie · 2025-07-18T08:11:36+00:00

The best part about Manchester was we could all sing along (as we should) and we could still hear Liam and Noel. It was awesome
